Very cool  ;D  ;D

This has a big trailer ,,big truck and a whooping great booster rocket ..whats not to like about this  <_<
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Interesting scratch work.
But, excuse me, if the direction of launch is forward, shouldn't the whole structure reversed 180° ? The elevating rams or whatever the name is shouldn't be forward?
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Maybe, this way put the center of gravity of the JAG over the road wheel of the trailers while in transport mode, allowed the JAG to fit the trailer better better and and worked for moving the JAG up and forward for launch.

That's awesome Dave, it really is!  :thumbsup:

And the MAN truck-trailer makes for good Anglo-German relations too.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

purposeful looking.   and very much the thing i saw when you first posted  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront

That looks great - well done. :thumbsup:

It certainly makes sense, in as much as any ZELL scheme makes "sense". (I always think of the disruption on the roads when trying to move one of these things: it would almost make more sense (but not to the USAF of course) to use a naval aircraft with folding wings).

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
